| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield quartered with a key, a royal palm, and blue-and-white stripes, surmounted by the Phrygian cap and encircled by an oak and laurel wreath tied with a ribbon. A curved legend above reads 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA', while the face value '10 PESOS' is inscribed below the arms. The metallic composition and weight, 'AG 0.925' and '28 G', appear in the lower side fields flanking the coat of arms. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's Olympic commemorative program of the late 1980s and early 1990s was one of the most prolific in the world — the island issued dozens of silver collector pieces tied to the Barcelona 1992 cycle, most with mintages low enough to satisfy a collector market but high enough to turn up regularly in dealer stock. This piece is part of that broader campaign, aimed squarely at the hard-currency market Cuba desperately needed following the Soviet Union's economic retreat from the island.
